With the sharp rise of China in recent years, China discourse has also become a popular genre in academia. Different viewpoints and attitudes toward China can be observed in those works, but there are two points that have been drawing much attention: one is the political and economic capacities of contemporary China, and the other is the history and culture of traditional China. Combined together, the two concerns bring about a spectrum of predictions about the future of China and even of the whole world. Despite the abundance of relative discourse, many works of the genre lay emphasis on either the contemporary or the traditional aspect of China, and mutual understanding between the two is still to be enhanced. This article compares the two styles of China discourse from the late 20th century, revealing the difference between their goals and methods, and trying to explore the possibilities of their further dialogue. |
